This my first prayer of thanksgiving to St Monica, Mother Mary and all of you prayer warriors! :grouphug:

I have been praying daily for eight years for 3 fallen away family members. About four years ago I started daily mass and communion. I was becoming very discouraged wondering if my prayers were being heard. Then, Maggie started this thread and I started praying for others besides my own family members. We “flooded” the heavens with our pleas and tears!
Code: 
 On Mother's Day I had my first glimmer of hope.  One of my family members called me up to wish me a happy Mother's Day and tell me that she and her best friend (female buddy) had just returned from mass.  This adult child has not been to mass for twenty some years.  

 Please fellow prayer warriors......don't get discouraged.  I will continue to pray for all on this thread.  It was necessary for me to start praying for others besides my own family before I was granted this wonderful surprise.

PRAYER TO ST. MONICA

Dear St. Monica,
troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant me that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for me, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear my plea for

(Mention your intention here.)

and grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.

Amen.
 
We continue to beg the intercession of St. Monica for all of our fallen-away friends and family members. St. Monica, please hear our prayers and carry them to Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Thank you.
